Captial letters are formed in much the same way as in other types of manuscript. Here are more detailed instructions to follow as you
write the capital letters (see page 33 of Italics, Beautiful Handwriting for Children).

A -- 3 strokes: 1-top to bottom left; 2-top to bottom right; 3-across from left to right to form the cross bar. If child
prefers, step 2 and 3 may be reversed, forming the crossbar after the 1st stroke.

B -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-starting at top

C -- 1 stroke starting at top right

D -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-starting at top

E -- 3 or 4 strokes. 1-starting at top make an L; 2-across top L-R; 3-across middle L-R. Or
4 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-across top L-R; 3-across middle L-R; 4-across bottom

G -- 2 strokes: 1-form a cap C;
2-start in middle of the C and go straight across to the right then down to connect to the end of the 1st stroke

H -- 3 strokes. Much like A and has the same acceptable variation in order of the strokes.

I -- 3 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-across top L-R; 3-across middle L-R

J -- 1 stroke starting at top. Optional: Tiny line across the top as with previous letter.

K -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and pull
down; 2-start at top and to the right, come in to touch the downstroke then slant back out. Try to line up the two end points of the 2nd stroke.

L -- 1 stroke starting at the top.

M -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and
pull down; 2-start at same beginning point and slant down, up, down.

N -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-start at same beginning point and slant down, up.

O -- 1 stroke starting at top and moving counterclockwise.

P -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-start at same beginning point to finish the letter.

Q -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and move counterclockwise
as in O; 2-small, straight line (or slightly curved) starting at bottom of the O and going down and right (just below the baseline).

R -- 3 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-start at same beginning point and
continue as in P; 3-place pencil on a point near the bottom right of stroke 2 and pull down at a slant.

S -- 1 stroke starting at the top.

T -- 2 strokes: 1-start at top and pull down; 2-start to the left of the
downstroke and pull straight across to the right.

U -- 1 stroke; form in the same way as lower case.

V -- 1 stroke starting at top left side.

W -- 1 stroke starting at top left side.

X -- 2 strokes; form in the
same way as lower case. 1-top left to bottom right; start 2nd stroke at the bottom and go up toward the right.

Y -- 1 stroke, form in the same way as lower case.

Z -- 1 stroke starting at top left.

It is acceptable to use basic capitals when writing in cursive. Or you can learn the cursive caps (see page 63 of Italics workbook).The same number and order of strokes are are used unless noted otherwise in the list
below.

G -- This is now a one-stroke letter.

I -- This is now a one-stroke letter.

J -- This is now a one-stroke letter.

N -- This is a 3-stroke letter: 1-go down; 2-start at same beginning point and go down to
the right; 3-start to the right, curve then go straight down to meet end of stroke 2.
